See yourself more clearly through the lens of yoga.
Yoga Sanctuary Holistic Yoga Teacher Training & Personal Transformation program, certified through Yoga Alliance. This program will guide you to see yourself more clearly and unlock your highest potential as a teacher, as we explore body, mind and heart through a yogic lens. We have created a unique program that values practicality and wisdom in equal measure.
NEW 200HYTT COURSE begins September 16, 2026
We will learn together through group practice, lecture, discussion, community collaboration, personal inquiry, and mentoring with seasoned teachers. We will laugh, share, sweat, be surprised, and even cook together on our path towards awakening the full potential of the whole self and the teacher within.
We will meet two Wednesday evenings per month from 6-9p. to build consistency in our community and personal practice, and to support you in assimilating information. Our first weekend will be September 19 & 20, meeting 8a-5p on Saturday and 9:30a-4:30p on Sunday. This creates a continuous thread as our community builds, and helps us all to stay connected to the teachings, practices and each other.
Between our sessions together, we ask each person to spend 6-9 hrs/month wrestling with readings, personal reflection questions, attending yoga classes and other assignments.
Because we focus on holding space for each other, attendance to all sessions is important. Make-ups through recordings are possible when life happens, but it's best to plan to be fully present.
We look forward to sharing this time with you.

Retreat
March 12-14, 2027
We will spend one weekend in March immersed in a Yoga Retreat at Sugarbush Lodge, in Alexandria, MN on beautiful Lake Geneva. This intentional time away surrounded by natural beauty, nourished by healthy, homemade, Ayurvedic food, allows us to create a safe space to explore our own stories through Self-Care, Yoga Nidra (deep, guided relaxation), Restorative Yoga, Ayurveda with Courtney Dingman, Trauma-sensitive Yoga with Jessa Walters. We look forward to sharing this time with you.
The Retreat Lodging costs are included in your tuition.
When one is not in Self-realization, the Seer takes on the identity of the fluctuations of mind.
